To be fair, you have a wykkyd awexome point here - she totally had to go through some crazy literary contortions to wring a rape story out of a video game mod that allows you to rape people.
Like, without her twisted influence, this story could have been about ANYTHING!

Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa - I'm sure I'm going to regret engaging on his one, but I'm having a hard time understanding how anyone on Gawker Media qualifies at being a / the "rape lady". Sexual content in games is always newsworthy, as games are a growing media attempting to mature and come into their own.
I'm sold on Nina Freeman due to my past familiarity with her work - I enjoyed the article but felt it didn't do what I needed it to in order to deepen that appreciation - there were a couple of avenues I saw it heading down that fascinated me, only to have them jerked away by the intercession of the author's…
I just had to pitch in when you called Kotaku the Internet Trolling Big Leagues. That's too funny to not have any passer-by call it out.

It may seem like you're getting cheated out of "potential gameplay", but really, this is a very…
Nobody suspects a thing~!
Naw, that's romantic.
Yyyyyeah, I need this.
The CEO equivalent is: I'm going to achieve this objective using my resources, after a general inventory of my resources, which I am not expected to know anything deep or technical about".
Many CEO's really are functioning on the level of "Great! You got the prototype of my mobile web jukebox that I think my kids said…
The bigger deal is that, it's kind of the job. Like, you go to be a fry cook, you have fry cook tools in front of you, read the manual, and become a fry cook.
You go to be a pilot, you read the manual, flip around the switches, do a few flights with an experienced pilot, boom, if you were approaching it to achieve and…
Yyyyeah, I'm going to go ahead and call that some BS. The point of this argument, as many of us who deal with CEO's know, is that CEO's don't act like a star quarterback most of the time.
